Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?

[Iskander 3.1]

What about Saharan nomads??? That's my guess...

[Cute Wolf]

I choose Phalavan because they CAN BECOME SETTLED....... and get benefits of more civilized units...

They did migrate into India during the latter half of the EB time period.

Some people, me included, think that this has A LOT to do with the establishment of the IndoGreek Kingdom. They invaded there as part of the IndoGreek Armies and they were awarded lands to settle along with their families. They are mentioned as part of the army which attacked(along with Yavanas=IndoGreeks at that time, later every NW invader of India) and seized Mothura (an Indian city in the SE of New Delhi).

Bah horses are for weaklings!

Though Sauromatae's isolation makes it a bit fun.

Hmmmm. Sounds like someone could do with a "visit" of Pahlav and Saka horse archers and cataphracts.

Just ignore him, it's his fear speaking.

On Topic:
Pahlava, the Sauros don't have proper catas and it just feels wrong that the Saka are still building tents after having conquered all of asia... (I hope the Saka get a reform similar to the Pahlava one in EB II) (Apparently something like that was planned for EB I, but was never realized.)

Fear of what? Afraid of using horse archers?

I don't like nomad factions because I don't like using calvary. not because I'm afraid of my own units shooting me or something.

I voted Saka - I like there units alot pluss they can recruit there best horse units everywhere (including the best Horse archers - early Saka nobles - like bobbin said). Pahlav is also nice but I don't like there limited recruitment area.

So do I - that would make te Saka my absolute favourite (among the nomads for sure)

Oh, I had the (wrong) impression you claimed nomad units were weak and I meant you should try fighting against them to prove otherwise
